While we're on the subject of respinning RC2, JDT has a critical bug[1]
that prevents any project with multiple output folders (Maven, Gradle) from
running any class (be it main or test) from the IDE, with Java 9.
A simple fix[2] was committed yesterday in master, I strongly believe this
should be backported to Oxygen.1a, given that, most likely, all new
greenfield Java 9 projects will use a build tool affected by that bug.
